Mattrag's white FLOOD (Sponsored)

Hey mattrag when you do your bent over rows do you do each rep dead off the floor? I know some 5x5 programs want you to do that..or do the whole sets at once no dropping of the weight?

I do both, but the ones off the floor are pendalay rows done lifted to my chest. Those I max out at 205x3 or so? I'll be resting the max this week.

Hehe, I have long legs and arms. But the bar only touches the ground if I am not keeping tension in my upper back to keep it straight.

Cool, will be anxious to see those(no homo)
 
Dude, your bent over rows are simply ridiculous. I can't even fathom doin that weight. I got excited when I got 185 for a few reps and didn't kill myself lol.

Haha. My back is beast. I can do one armed pull ups too. My deads suck though. I can't get good hip movement and I have a hard time getting enough momentum off the floor :(

Damn, one armed pull ups at your weight is crazy!!! I had a friend who could do them but he weighed about 150-155 and had 17in arms, haha! Deads are still a work in progress for me, I didn't realize the importance of them until earlier this year. The only reason my deads are strong is because my squats were strong before that. On a side note, I'm having Hawaii withdrawals reeeeally bad lately.

Controlled labs samples!!

Green buldge good tasting good pumps.

Purple wraith, best tasting BCAA+EAA combo drink I have had thus far! (Many of the +EAA ones taste like rotten whey protein to me... )

Dude I cringed the whole time watching those barefoot sumo deads, AHHH your poor toes! Lol.

Do you do your one armed pullups free-hang or are you gripping your arm with your other hand?

I can do both, but that time it was gripping my hand because I was trying to show the dude that a one arm pull up is not very hard if you know a small trick lol.
Though I have to be doing it with a closed grip if i'm doing a true one arm pull up.


The weights are actually at least 8 inches from my feet. So unless I pull it, move my feet outwards and pull the bar left/right, my feet are safe. ;) I feel like a beast though lifting barefoot haha! I know the other guys at the gym must hate me for it. The gym staff all know me pretty well adn let me do almost anything... like lift bare footed, video tape, take pics, and make as much noise as I want.... hahahah!

I see, well I don't feel so silly now cuz I know I can do one arms with grip from my other hand lol.
I still think I'm staying away from the sumo deads though. I have a pair of steel toe boots I like to use time to time on leg day though...

Done. Good workout today. Definitely loved the prolonged energy of White flood this time. Out of intra workout.... omg it sucks not having sweet stuff to sip on during the workout... Good workout today. Good energy. Switched up the diet a little. Added in some preworkouts carbs (4 hrs from workout though haha). Definitely looking leaner, as my friend said today that I am looking swole haha.

Anyway, this week is gonna be weird because I am going to go on a road trip during the weekend and my damn protein is yet to come in.... ; ;

Haha, thanks! Tomorrow I gotta lift again. I hope my legs heal up. Tomorrow is squats, and then high rep bent over rows. Im probably going to do some 1.5 reps (hold the contraction at the top then go down half way and come back up)

Yup the WF deal on the Black Friday sale was AMAZING, not to mention the Orange TRIAD (sold out quick AFAIK), and the Oximega deals!
